    Question Im building my first gaming pc! Can someone check it out?. Because I want to buy it.

    The Cooler Master G700 CPU cooler is not a CPU cooler, it's a PSU, but I'm guessing you already know that. I would not use that PSU in any of my builds. You need to look here for a quality PSU, as others have suggested. Don't let the gold efficiency rating fool you. Look at Tier A or Tier B...

    "The new additions to the already-working rig (used for non-gaming purposes) were the addition of PNY RTX 3090 and a new fast monitor (165ms refresh). " Did the 3090 replace an existing discrete GPU, or was he using the integrated graphics on his CPU (presuming his CPU has integrated graphics)?

    Question Random black screens while gaming ?

    To be clear, is your PSU 550W or 650W? When did you buy the PSU and did you buy it new? Nvidia recommends a minimum 650W PSU for your GPU. When I Google CP-9020177-NA all I'm getting is results for the 550W PSU. It could be that, if it is the 550W that I think it is, it could have been just...

    Question No video output, no POST beep ?

    Yes it would, however (I could be wrong), I don't think your motherboard has that feature. Correction: Your motherboard MAY have that feature. Please give us the EXACT name of your motherboard (from the box it came in). If it is the TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (WI-FI), then it does have this...

    Question Why is my PC struggling to multitask (FPS drops when having other programs open, long load times) ?

    I had a 9600K and replaced it with the i9-9900K to run BF5 smoothly. The 6 core/thread just wasn't enough for the game. An i7-9700K (8 core/thread) probably would have been sufficient but I decided on the 9900K (8 core/16 thread). I am very happy with my decision.

    Question I can't figure out what causes the stutter in games such as DCS, and Son of the Forest ?

    That CPU, i3-12100 should be sufficient to run those games. Like others have suggested, it could be your single stick RAM. I'd buy a kit of 2 16 Gb sticks to REPLACE your existing 16 Gb stick.

    Question I can't figure out what causes the stutter in games such as DCS, and Son of the Forest ?

    Is this a new build? What exact CPU do you have? Stutters can be caused by the CPU not providing the frames that the GPU needs. RAM sticks that are purchased together in the same kit/shrink-wrap typically work well. Adding another stick does not always work out well with running dual channel...
